This page is a constant work in progress and provides an overview of who is doing what in the Tiki community. This is not a top-down directive or anything, but rather a collaborative list to enable all in the community to work more effectively together.

Many contributors might still be missing from this list... please help to make this page better!

1. Introduction

Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware is a vast project. It's tricky for new people to know how the Tiki Community is organized to find the right person to contact to start to contribute. Newcomers often ask:

What may I expect from others within Tiki Community

What do others expect from me?

Who does what?

Who should I talk to? How does it work?

This page is intended to help answer these question.

Important: Everyone is a volunteer. Things get done because someone like you decides to take the time to make it better.

Tiki is a free and open source software project. Anyone can join and participate in the Tiki Community without paying or officially joining anything — simply register.

If you are new to open source, a good place to learn more about how open source software communities work is to read about it on Wikipedia.

2.2. Elders

2.2.1. What

Individuals who have provided outstanding contribution to the project (usually ex-admins which have become inactive or are still active but prefer not to be formally in the admin group) and are consulted for important decisions. A bit like "Past presidents" in some non profits.

2.3. Security Team

2.3.1. What

The Security Team is a trusted group. This team is responsible to review security reports and to proceed to a pro-active audit at each major release. Security Team members are added by vote by the Admins following recommendations of current members. The coordinator is Pete Jalajas (whom you can contact to join the team).

2.5. Consultants

The Consulting Team is responsible for fostering the development of the Tiki consulting ecosystem, which includes increasing the number of full-time Tiki consultants and making it easier for potential Tiki users to find the right consultants / service providers in the Tiki community to suit their needs.

Hello everybody, please mind the ((TikiFestSysadmin2014)) in August. Mainly meant for the Sysadmins, which are located in and near Germany (and France), active community members from Canada are expected to be attending.
